Calculate the time a component has been running for when the power rating is 28W, and the electrical energy transferred is 180J.
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
Power measured in Watts is the rate of energy transfer.

28W means 28 Joules per second

So its the same calculation as if you were asked how long it'd take a train to travel 180m if it was going at a constant speed of 28 meters per second
power is work done/time. work done/power = 180/28 = 6.43 seconds :smile:
